A faulty installation of DirectX could be the root cause of the Dev Error 6068 in Call of Duty (or any variant thereof). The game’s settings not being optimised for your computer’s hardware can also be to blame.
When the game freezes or crashes, the Dev Error 6068 is to blame and displays the following message:
Our investigation suggests the problem is more likely to be software-related than hardware-related for computers used to play Call of Duty. Before diving into the exact solutions, you may want to consider some more general approaches.
Method 1: Start the Program in Admin Mode
In order to use several features and access some services, Call of Duty has to run in administrator mode. Further, it may produce Dev error 6068 if it is not granted administrative access.
If that’s the case, you might try starting the game as an administrator. The Battle.net launcher will serve as an example tool for explaining the steps involved. And there are platform-specific procedures you can follow to launch Call of Duty as an admin.
- Launch Call of Duty via the Battle.net client.
- Then select the Settings menu.
- A new window will open in Internet Explorer.
- Now, navigate to your computer’s Downloads folder and open the Call of Duty folder (the file with .exe extension).
- Select “Run as an administrator” from the drop-down menu and see if it fixes the issue.
Method 2: Adjust Call of Duty’s Process Priority To Maximum.
It’s not a good idea to mess with with process priorities if you don’t know what you’re doing, but in this case, setting the game’s process priority to High Priority may alleviate the issue because it puts less strain on your CPU and GPU.
- To open the Task Manager, right-click the Task Bar.
- Now, right-click the Call of Duty process, and select Go to Details from the context menu.
- On the Details tab, right-click the highlighted Call of Duty process to bring up a menu. From there, pick Priority, and from the drop-down menu, choose High.
- Verify if everything is working properly with the game now.
Method 3: It’s Important to Use The Most Recent Version of Windows And All Necessary Drivers.
New updates for the operating system and system drivers are released by Microsoft and your system makers to enhance performance and address known faults. Dev Error 6068 is just one of numerous problems that might arise if you’re running an out-of-date version of Windows or a set of system drivers.
Windows and driver updates may be the answer in that scenario. Moreover, DirectX bugs can be fixed by updating to the latest version of Windows.
- To access the Updates menu, hit the Windows key and type the word. Choose the Check for Updates option that appears in the search results.
- The Update window should now appear; click the Check for Updates button.
- Acquire the latest version, and then set it up (if any).
- Get Windows Update Helper here.
- To apply the update, run the downloaded file and comply with the on-screen prompts.
- For the most up-to-date drivers, it’s also a good idea to visit the site of your computer’s maker.
- When the update has finished installing, see if the issue has been fixed.
Method 4: Recheck and Fix the Video Game Data
Dev Error 6068 is thrown if the Call of Duty game files are damaged in any way. Scanning and repairing the game files (which examines the game files and redownloads the missing files) may be able to rectify the situation in such a case. We’ll use the Battle.net launcher as an example of this technique.
- Launch Call of Duty with the Battle.net client.
- Select Scan and Repair from the Options menu’s drop-down menu (located under the menu’s title).
- Just hit the Scan Now button to get started.
- At this time, your game library will be analysed, and any damaged or missing data will be replaced with fresh copies (if any).
- After the scan and repair of the game files is complete, see if the issue has been resolved.
